Proposal
Tree Work Specification Amended T1 – Oak Approximately 20m in height. Remove deadwood throughout the crown to reduce the risk of falling branches and improve overall safety. T2 – Cherry Approximately 8m in height with a crown spread of approximately 10m. Carry out end-weight reduction to selected limbs, reducing the branch ends by approximately 2m to reduce leverage and improve crown balance. T3 – Eucalyptus Approximately 12m in height with a crown spread of approximately 6m, comprising two main stems. Reduce the left-hand stem extending over the lawn to reduce competition between the stems and lessen weight and leverage on the union. T4 & T5 – Twin Hornbeams Two twin-stemmed Hornbeams, approximately 8m in height with a crown spread of approximately 8m. Carry out crown thinning to improve crown structure and balance, and crown lift to approximately 3m above ground level T4 approx 15% T5 approx 15% T6 – Poplar Removed from Application. G1 – Laurels Group of approximately 12 Laurel trees, approximately 7m in height with a crown spread of approximately 7m. Reduce the group to approximately 2m in height to significantly reduce competition with the surrounding trees and allow greater access to light and growing space. G2 – Yews Group of approximately 10 Yew trees growing as a dense cluster, approximately 4.5m in height. Reduce the group to match the height of the adjacent Yew hedge approx 1.5 meters to create a uniform appearance and facilitate easier ongoing maintenance.
